The
young teen was legally blind with 50 per cent vision in one eye and
zero in the other. Alert police work led to her discovery. About 9:45
p.m. later that night an officer spotted Cody Alan Legebokoff turning
out of a remote logging road onto the Stuart Lake Highway some 22 km
north of Vanderhoof. He didn’t like the way Legebokoff was driving and
pulled him over for questioning, before arranging for a conservation
officer to search the area. Leslie’s body was found and Legebokoff was
charged with her murder.
